Hi, To sync LDAP with a custom backend you can also use the retro changelog plug-in : http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/CDS/cli/8.0/Configuration_Command_File_Reference-Plug_in_Implemented_Server_Functionality_Reference-Retro_Changelog_Plug_in_Attributes.html As for your request to see the csn you can do it (if your user has enough rights) by looking for nscpEntryWSI attribute. You will have something like nscpEntryWSI: ou;121419;vucsn-4b5d82cf000300010000: ou=dix,ou=dep,ou=dgae,ou=dg,ou=organisation,dc=id,dc=polytechnique,dc=edu nscpEntryWSI: telephoneNumber;121419;vucsn-4b5d82cf000200010000: +33169339924 nscpEntryWSI: physicalDeliveryOfficeName;121419;vucsn-4b5d82cf000100010000: 7:20-02 nscpEntryWSI: title;121419;vucsn-4b5d82cf000000010000: PERSONNEL ENSEIGNANT VACATAIRE nscpEntryWSI: loginShell;adcsn-4b557cb7000000010000;vucsn-4b557cb7000000010000: /bin/bash @+ 2010/2/22 Roberto Polli <rpolli@xxxxxxxx>: > hi all, > > I'm trying to retrieve the csn with ldapsearch and ldapadd/modify. > > I need it for syncing ldap with a custom backend. > > For now I'm using the modifytimestamp, but for each add/modify I have to issue > a subsequent ldapsearch to retrieve the modifytimestamp... > > The control I'm trying to use is the following: > https://www.opends.org/wiki/page/DefinitionCSNControl > > the csn of the entry is reported into fedorads logs. > > [18/Feb/2010:17:05:32 +0100] ...
